Miabhaig: your questions answered
What about rust by the waste?
Yes. We remove the rust and loose enamel, seal and fill the area, then colour-match the finish.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you cover Miabhaig?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Miabhaig. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long before I can use the bath?
Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact curing time when we finish.
Bath repair in Miabhaig without replacing anything
It pays to repair bath damage while it’s small. Exposed metal on enamelled baths soon rusts, while cracks in acrylic grow each time the bath moves. Repairing it stops the damage getting worse. Our technicians work on whirlpool & spa baths, cast iron enamel and pressed steel enamel, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or sides and chips caused by builders.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Miabhaig
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, the area is cleaned and any loose enamel or rust is removed.
- We fill the damage and sand it flush with the surrounding surface.
- The colour is mixed on the spot to match your bath.
- Finish coats go on, then the repair is polished to blend in.
- The repair is left to cure, and most baths can be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in Miabhaig
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a damaged bath for a new one usually means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling and a new panel and disposing of the old one. Repairing it deals only with the damage in one visit. Our bath repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Put a towel in the bath if you’re working above it
- Stick to mild cleaners and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a fresh chip for long
- Keep abrasive pads and gritty cleaners away from the bath
In the first few days, avoid putting weight or bottles on the repair. After that, normal gentle cleaning is fine without abrasive products.
If an acrylic bath has a crack, stop showering in it until it’s repaired. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
- Leaks from the waste or overflow fittings (a plumber’s job)
- Flexing caused by a failed cradle or loose feet
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Pressed steel enamel
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Cast iron enamel

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we are called out for in Miabhaig
Rust generally starts where water sits, by the plughole, beneath dripping taps or in an unrepaired chip. Once water reaches the steel or iron, rust spreads under the enamel.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- A failed DIY repair that’s discoloured or lifting
- A chip where the taps sit
- Holes from dropped items
